How floating subtitles work

Turn it on once, then use any app — captions follow you.

  1. 1

    Enable Floating Subtitles

    On iOS or Android, open Whisperr, start transcription, and toggle on Floating Subtitles. On Mac or Windows, switch the source to System audio — subtitles appear in a small always-on-top window you can make fully transparent.

  2. 2

    Switch to any app

    On mobile, open YouTube, Netflix, TikTok, Twitch, or another supported app and the translated captions float on top of whatever’s playing. On desktop, the floating window stays on top of whatever your computer is playing.

  3. 3

    Read while you watch

    Captions stay on screen in your language while the app underneath keeps running — no app switching, no split screen.

What users say

Whisperr review

“I love how easy Whisperr is to use and how it accurately understands and translates text and speech across different languages. It's so effective that even in scenarios where other tools might fail, Whisperr performs perfectly. Additionally, the ability to select languages for translation directly on a phone is fantastic. This feature helps us translate church services, ensuring everyone understands without missing anything important. The initial setup was straightforward, making it smooth to start using immediately.”

Top-Notch Speech Recognition and Flashcard-Style Translations for Fast Study

“Whisperr's speech recognition and translation quality are both top-notch, and better than similar tools I've tried so far. Beyond that, as a Japanese learner, I especially like how Whisperr displays each sentence and its translation almost like flashcards, with a text-to-speech button for each one. That setup makes studying feel fast and efficient, and it's easy to review sentence by sentence.”

Worth hundreds of thousands of yen

“The same performance as other conversation translation apps. Those charge by the minute, but this one is apparently a one-time purchase, so the value for money is outstanding. Compared with about five similar apps, this one is the best on both performance and price. I wonder whether it was made by a Japanese developer??”

Floating subtitles FAQ

What are floating subtitles?+
Floating subtitles are real-time translated captions Whisperr overlays on top of another app or your desktop, so you can read along while a video plays underneath — in 100+ languages.
Which apps do floating subtitles work with?+
On iOS and Android: YouTube, TikTok, Instagram, Weverse, Amazon Prime, and Netflix (the last two need the video started first). Zoom, Teams, Meet, and Webex are not supported on mobile — those block other apps from reading their audio for privacy; use the meeting bot or microphone capture instead.
Do floating subtitles work on Android?+
Yes — the same as iOS. They also work on Mac and Windows, as an always-on-top window over whatever your computer is playing, and in the Web App and Chrome Extension over a browser tab.
Is there a delay?+
Captions appear in about 0.2 seconds, fast enough to follow live video and conversation.
Which languages are supported?+
Over 100 languages, including Spanish, Japanese, Korean, Russian, and Chinese, plus many long-tail languages.
Is it free?+
You can start for free. Unlimited real-time use is available on a low flat annual plan, with no per-minute metering or per-language caps.
